I was going to buy everything OEM for my PM on our Venture.

It is a 99 that has not needed a new head gasket.

I am going to put in:

New ignition wires
New plugs
New battery
New thermostat
New coolent sensor
New Dexcool

Where so you guys buy your OEM parts?

Oh yeah it has 140,000 mile on it. One of the best vehicals we have ever owned no problems other then brake pads.

Thanks

I buy a lot of my A C Delco parts from rockauto.com . There is another site AC-Direct.com :http://www.oewarehouse.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv which is an online catalog for AC Delco parts. You can also look up retailers and garages in your area that you can buy AC Delco parts from. I usually buy my filters and batteries locally as the price is better. The place where I get them sells them in a 12 pack without the boxes ( plastic sleeved wrapped) for a much better price, and since I own many GM vehicles, they use the same numbered oil filter, so for me it makes sense. I also found great deals on AC Delco batteries. The price was similar to the other auto part's stores in my area for their brand battery. I stick with the Delcos because they last a long time. I recently replaced the OE Delco battery in my '97 which lasted 9 years, and some of my friends avereage 7 to 10 years on their Delco batteries.

Thanks for posting that link. I have bought from them in the past when their price was the best and received fast service. I lost their bookmark on my computer and couldn't find it when I was looking for the places I get my AC Delco stuff from for my previous post. I'd like to add that if you create an online account with some of these places, or allow them to keep your info, they sometimes send you emails with specials and a "percentage off" your order code to use on future orders. That helps keep your "car budget" within means:) .
